Join us for this FREE two-day Youth Mental Health First Aid course in Dowerin.
Learn about the signs and symptoms of the common mental health problems experienced by young people, what sort of help has been shown by evidence-based research to be effective, and how to provide mental health first aid in a crisis situation.
Topics will include
Depression, anxiety problems, eating disorders, substance use problems, suicidal thoughts and behaviours, and psychosis.
On completion of the post- course assessment, you’ll be accredited as a Youth Mental Health First Aider for 3 years.
